For those curious, 4.30.1 does not have the DEX kernel and all of them can play PS2 PSN titles now.. There was a bug in the first REX releases. You can also install 4.21.2 over 4.30.1 straight from XMB if you are QA flagged. Cyberskunk has also implemented OOS support for all Rebug Firmware including 4.30 so enjoy Linux again

Package Manager is a replacement for the standard Install Package Files option under Game in the XMB. It allows for the install and deletion of .pkg files from dev_hdd0/packages, dev_usb/packages and the standard Install Package Files locations. In addition to this, your downloaded PSN content 'bubbles' will appear under this option instead of cluttering your Game menu with uninstalled content.

USAGE: Navigate to Game in your XMB and click on Package Manager (It will be where Install Package Files usually is). You will find three options.

NOTE: The Install All Packages is only available by pressing the TRIANGLE button when the Standard Package Location option is highlighted because the PS3 will only install ALL packages from the root of a storage device as of the moment.

DELETING FILES:
1: Highlight the file you would like to delete and press TRIANGLE. The sidebar should appear.
2: Press CROSS on either Unlink or Unlink(Folder) (Both do the same thing for now).

REBUG TOOLBOX

Rebug Toolbox is application designed to complete the full function of REBUG REX EDITION firmwares. Besides from performing the CEX/DEX EID0 and LV2 Kernel Swapping it is also an FTP server and is packed with a bunch of other useful tools.

A collection of LV1 patches that can be used for better compatibility with some PS3 tools. Any combination of these patches can be applied before booting OtherOS.

CEX/DEX (REX EDITION ONLY)

SWAP LV2 KERNEL:
Swaps between CEX and DEX LV2 Kernel. This option will only work if your Target ID is set to DEX
REWRITE TARGET ID IN FLASH:

This option requires you have a valid NOR/NAND dump named correctly on dev_usb000. Use EXPORT FLASH TO FILE function found in the UTILITIES menu to dump your NOR/NAND to dev_usb000 and then use c2d.exe to convert your dump to DEX.

Once you have prepared your NOR/NAND dumps place them on a USB device and connect it to dev_usb000.

Now that you have your valid dumps named properly and connected to dev_usb000 it is a simple as selecting the option and following the onscreen prompts. Takes less than 10secs once you have your dumps prepared.

UTILITIES

TOGGLE QA:
Enable/Disable QA flag. This option is only available in REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION as we are not able to set QA token at the moment from GameOS on higher firmware.
TOGGLE RECOVERY MODE:

Sets the GameOS boot flag. Use this if your PS3 is having trouble booting PS2 titles after running OtherOS or is accidently sending you back to OtherOS when trying to enter recovery mode.
CREATE PACKAGES FOLDER ON PS3:

Create /dev_hdd0/packages folder or your PS3 to be used with Package Manager.
EXPORT HYPERVISOR LV1 MEMORY:

Save LV1 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.
EXPORT GAMEOS LV2 MEMORY:

Save LV2 memory to dev_usb000 or dev_usb006 or dev_hdd0 if usb is not found.
EXPORT FLASH TO FILE:

Backup your current NOR/NAND to file on dev_usb000. Takes about 45secs for NAND
CHANGE ACTIVE PS3ID:

Spoof IDPS in LV2 memory. Choose from Use EID0 or Use EID5. EID5 will spoof your original CEX IDPS allowing you to connect to PSN if your PS3 is running REBUG REX EDITION firmware in DEX mode. This option is only available in REBUG 4.21.x REX EDITION and below at the moment.

QA is supported in all REBUG FIRMWARE but at this point in time we are unable to set the QA Token from GameOS on 3.55+ firmware.

It is good practice to enable QA in 3.55 before updating to any CFW not just REBUG.

OTHEROS++ SUPPORT

OtherOS++ is supported by all REBUG REX EDITIONS and will detect your existing OtherOS HDD partition.

However none of the REBUG REX EDITIONS have emer_init.self patched (create smaller GameOS partition). We are working on a solution to this from GameOS.

In the meantime if you do want to create an OtherOS partition you have two options:

1: Use a 3.55 firmware that already has emer_init.self patched to the size you want.
2: Patch REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION in PS3MFW Builder

If you choose option 2 we highly recommend that you ONLY patch emer_init.self. Also the resulting PUP will only be able to be installed on 3.55 firmware as the spkg_hdr will be mismatched.

REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER

INSTALL:
From XMB install REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER over any 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW or the same or lower firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched or any firmware version CFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

UNINSTALL:
From XMB REBUG 4.21.x AND HIGHER can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or with REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION on a QA enabled PS3 or with the '999′ DOWNGRADER if QA was NOT enabled.
REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION

INSTALL:
From XMB install REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION over the same or lower firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW or any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched and QA enabled.

UNINSTALL:
From XMB REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION can be uninstalled with the same or higher firmware version OFW/CFW/MFW.

REBUG '999′ DOWNGRADER
THIS WILL SET YOUR SYSCON COREOS VERSION TO 9.99 ON PURPOSE: DO NOT PANIC

REQUIRES SYSCON DEHASHING AFTER DOWNGRADE

INSTALL:

From XMB install '999′ DOWNGRADER over any firmware version CFW/MFW with spkg sig check patched on a PS3 with or without QA enabled.

UNINSTALL/DEHASH: REQUIRES PS3 TO BE QA ENABLED
From XMB '999′ DOWNGRADER can be uninstalled/dehashed with the REBUG 3.55.x REX EDITION or from Recovery Mode with any other 3.55 OFW/CFW/MFW.

Rebug Toolbox is application designed to complete the full function of REBUG REX EDITION firmwares. Besides from performing the CEX/DEX EID0 and LV2 Kernel Swapping it is also an FTP server and is packed with a bunch of other useful tools.

NORMAL mode which uses the DEBUG XMB is the default mode after installing Rebug.

REBUG mode sets the PS3 to the latest available version spoof (updatable in the future) and allows swapping between RETAIL and DEBUG XMB.

XMB OPERATION MODE:

This option only works in REBUG mode and lets you select either the RETAIL or DEBUG XMB.

DEBUG MENU TYPE:

Gives you the choice of the CEX QA (retail) or DEX (debug) Debug Settings menu.

From bitsbubba (via tortuga-cove.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=29929#p29929) comes an Unofficial REBUG Updater (AIO) (linked above) who states: Hey y'all REBUG 4.46.1 REX users I thought I'd put together all of the recent updater like files that I've found or created. I used the installer that we (Team XMBM+) created for XMB Manager Plus.

Updates consist of:

Spoof to 4.50 in all modes but 'Normal'

Screen Shots in all modes

BD Cinavia patch by HABIB

Renamed Playstation Network to PSN (XMB and *Package Manager) as per $0nY

Renamed Hard Disk (*Package Manager) to System Storage as per $0nY

So now you can feel like you're on 4.50.1 REX until Team REBUG (Cyberskunk, evilsperm) releases the reals... soon

v1.01: Added support REBUG 4.46.1 LITE EDITION

Spoof 4.50 (PSN access)

Enabled Screenshots (thanks Mysis)

Cinavia patched (including BD patch by HABIB)

Renamed Playstation Network to PSN (XMB and *Package Manager) as per $0nY

Renamed Hard Disk (*Package Manager) to System Storage as per $0nY

v1.02 Changelog:

Added 4.50 certs to improve on spoof

Sing Star app removal (let me know if works, as I never had app)

Finally, from evilsperm (July 11, 2014): Sup Everyone, To all the fans thanks for the support, to all the leechers/haters you can pretty much go kill yourself and the world will be a much better place.

Real life has caught up to us. I myself have a wife, 2 kids, full time work, bills, bills, more bills, just moved into a new home and renovations going on. Sadly for now I am bowing out of the scene as I have zero free time. Hopefully I will return with more free time in the coming months.

I can not speak for cyberskunk, but I know he has a lot going on right now. I am pretty sure once he gets everything in order he will be continuing his work in the scene, but again I can not speak for him.

Try to run Multiman and hold START + SELECT button you will be entered in the OS mode.

In screen OS entry in the icon PS3 ROOT -> dev_flash -> rebug -> packages -> REBUG-TOOLBOX-02.01.04.pkg It is the location of the file on the internal drive pkg 02.01.04 you might find.

That I've ever experienced. The main cause of that was because we did downgrade..!

For example: "The name on the console or user name USER 1, if we do the downgrade from 4.30 or any other version to version 3:55 It is clear there will be changes *USER 1, there appears an asterisk at the beginning of the word here is probable cause trophy installation will not happen "

Any new user name in the console. Try to change the name back to the first *USER 1 > USER1. its no good you do is make all the ps3 back up all the data, do the following:

- FORMAT PS3
- RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS
- RESTORE PS3 SYSTEM

Then back again your ps3 data backup. His best may you repeat the game again from scratch for fun because you have mastered the game story from the beginning and it is easier to get his trophy thanks.

When you install Rebug 4.41.2 Lite & go into the package manager and install from hard drive, there is the option to install Rebug Toolbox 02.01.04. What is the actual location of the 02.01.04 pkg file on the internal drive?
